Tips:
- Mise en place: Before you start baking, make sure you have all your ingredients and equipment ready. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling.
- Use fresh ingredients: Fresh cranberries and tangerines will give your scones the best flavor. If you can't find fresh cranberries, you can use frozen cranberries that have been thawed and drained.
- Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing the dough will make your scones tough. Mix the dough just until it comes together, then stop.
- Chill the dough before baking: Chilling the dough before baking will help it hold its shape and rise better in the oven.
- Bake the scones until they are golden brown: The scones are done baking when they are golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
